The Term Of Sri Lanka Medical Council President Professor Carlo Fonseka Ended Yesterday (30)

The Five year term of the president of Sri Lanka
Medical Council (SLMC)Professor Carlo Fonseka has ended yesterday (30).

Professor Fonseka had been appointed as the President of SLMC by the Health Minister under the powers vested with him on 2012 and after his term  ended on last December , current Health Minister Dr.Rajitha Senaratne had extended his term for another six months.

However during last few months he was managed to gain the  confidence of the  Medical students and Doctors trade unions due to his opposition to the controversial Private Medical  Collage in Malabe (SAITM).

The 85 year old Professor has told  after his term in SLMC ended yesterday (30)that he had no hope of doing any job again at the moment.

Meanwhile the Medical Faculties Student Action Committee  had submitted a letter to the SLMC Yesterday (30)requesting a re appointment of  Professor Fonseka' as SLMC President.

The president of the SLMC which is a honorary post is appointed by the Health Minister under the powers vested with him.
